Treat hazardous waste

Treat it wrote: Some industrial wastes contain high organic content and are disposed, because it is not possible to find reuse alternatives for them. Mln of tons of hazardous industrial waste is disposed in estonia by oil shale processing plants. Disposal of waste cause environmental pollution, mainly by leaching of contaminants from the disposal sites. We enable companies, producing hazardous waste to change hazardous waste into non-hazardous by reaching the goal set by the law for non-hazardous wastes. Cleaner environment is reached by reducing organic content both in solid waste and leachate water, coming from disposal sites... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Transparent, heat reflecting nanotech

NanoScreen wrote: Up to 40% of electricity costs in office buildings are due to air-conditioning and with dwindling energy resources, there is a need of new energy-efficient products on the market. At present, opaque and translucent window films are used to cut out the amount of light and heat entering a room. Yet, these can only stop a small portion of heat from entering, while compromising the transparency of glass windows. That is the reason we came up with an innovative energy-saving solution: nanoscreen. . Nanoscreen is a unique, transparent polymer-based screen embedded with special ir-reflecting nanoparticles, therefore reducing the cost of air-conditioning...

Transformational workspaces for e-waste

E-cowork wrote: Technology is great, until it stops working. Which is when climate heroes come in and whisk the product away for recycling. Only that, in most cases, specially in developing countries, the recycling is done by very low-skilled informal entrepreneurs at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid. And in dismal conditions, with immense health and environmental costs and few safeguards - whether legal, social or financial. E-[co]work is about creating co-working spaces for these small and micro eco-entrepreneurs, providing not only affordable and safe spaces with the right tools and technologies to be more efficient and productive, but more importantly enabling them to access products (eg...
